MetaActive Forte (formerly Curcudyn Forte), 30 capsules

£35.40 for 30 capsules at Vitamin Planet. It carries more than one active ingredient, so it is not ranked against single-ingredient products. Each price below counts one ingredient only.

A day£5.90
A week£41.30
A month£177.00
A year£2153.50

How we worked it out

Turmeric / curcumin

  • Servings: 30 ÷ 1 per serving = 30
  • In the pack: 30 × 100 mg = 3 g
  • £35.40 ÷ 3 g × 500 mg = £5.90 per 500 mg
  • A week £5.90 × 7 = £41.30 · a month × 30 = £177.00 · a year × 365 = £2153.50
  • Amount per serving: active constituent content stated on the label (or its stated percentage of the extract).

Boswellia

  • Servings: 30 ÷ 1 per serving = 30
  • In the pack: 30 × 65 mg = 1.95 g
  • £35.40 ÷ 1.95 g × 300 mg = £5.45 per 300 mg
  • A week £5.45 × 7 = £38.12 · a month × 30 = £163.38 · a year × 365 = £1987.85
  • Amount per serving: extract weight stated on the label.

Ginger

  • Servings: 30 ÷ 1 per serving = 30
  • In the pack: 30 × 40 mg = 1.2 g
  • £35.40 ÷ 1.2 g × 500 mg = £14.75 per 500 mg
  • A week £14.75 × 7 = £103.25 · a month × 30 = £442.50 · a year × 365 = £5383.75
  • Amount per serving: extract weight stated on the label.

Vitamin C

  • Servings: 30 ÷ 1 per serving = 30
  • In the pack: 30 × 16 mg = 480 mg
  • £35.40 ÷ 480 mg × 1 g = £73.75 per 1 g
  • A week £73.75 × 7 = £516.25 · a month × 30 = £2212.50 · a year × 365 = £26918.75
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Vitamin D3

  • Servings: 30 ÷ 1 per serving = 30
  • In the pack: 30 × 100 IU = 3,000 IU
  • £35.40 ÷ 3,000 IU × 1,000 IU = £11.80 per 1,000 IU
